I created a dictionary to my application and I'm trying to set Xrecords, but they keep failing. I wonder why?

If I run the subroutine Test it fails to write and retrieve the value. In the debugger it seems that I can't even write the value to the Xrecord but I'm not sure.

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work,

Dear costis,

We tested your code both in ZWCAD and AutoCAD, and got the same error result, so it seems to be something wrong with your code itself.

After our analysis, we suggest you Xtyp, which you use to specify data type. Maybe you didn't specify the correct data type that leads to wrong result, please kindly check it through.

We also suggest you refer to SetXrecorddata sample in ZWCAD Developer help.

Thanks Daniel, I will test it further.

As for AutoCAD... after migrating to ZWCAD I never looked back! (Well... maybe once...)
